Cherry Picking & Dromana Beach



Friday, January 8th of 2011

Today’s weather is TERRIBLE !! It was around 35 degrees or something. I couldn’t just stay at home  and do nothing. That’s why I asked my parents to go to somewhere. Finally my family, Bu Lies’ family and Bu Ani’s family went to Cherry Picking at Frankston. We went there at 12.30 pm and arrived around 13.30 pm. It’s quite far from my house but we went there by car, so it’s not a problem. It’s the first for my family and Bu Ani’s family went to Cherry Picking, that’s why we didn’t know anything about its area.
First we were dropped at the front garden. All the trees there were full of big cherries, so we just ate as much as possible. Suddenly there was a big dog barking at us! We were so scared! A man came to us and warned us that actually we weren’t allowed to eat the cherries in the front garden. We had to go to the back garden if we wanted to eat the cherries, that’s what the man said. We walked to the back garden, we had to pay first, $10 for each person. While we walked around inside the back garden, we couldn’t find any cherries as big as the cherries in the front garden! All the cherries here were very small. Even not all the trees have cherries. It’s really different if you compare the front garden and the back garden. We tried to find some big cherries. We had walked there for a very long time, but we still couldn’t find any. Suddenly a Chinese family came to us and gave us a bucket of big cherries! They said they had too much that’s why they give the cherries to us (I wondered where did they find the cherries). Thanks Alloh after we walked for a long period of time eventually we had got some cherries. After that we paid the cherries, it costed $19.
It was around 4 pm, so we went to a park to sholat first. After we finished, we went to Dromana Beach (we didn’t plan it actually), it wasn’t too far from the Cherry Picking. You know what guys, the beach was so BEAUTIFUL !! The sands was white and the beach was really clean (not like beaches in Indonesia, hehe). The wind was so strong though, that’s why we didn’t spend much time there. Before we went home we felt hungry, so we bought some chips and some kebabs. We ate them near the beach. Then we went home straight away. We arrived around 19.30 pm. WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY :D !!
